If gender isnt important why do engineers need to have more women?
Women themselves do not want to put the long hours into these areas of study. They have determined its far easier to marry an engineer and have access to the perks of that career, that way.
Do you really like male-only workplaces? I found that women add interesting dynamics; and, all I worked with were as good as the men at their jobs.
Perks? Lol. Im aerospace and the perks are few. :)
